| Notes | Former three-storey care home that has been closed for a number of years and has been standing vacant. The building is deteriorating due to the risk of vandalism and the impacts of the natural elements. Conversion and alteration of the building is likely to be the most appropriate method of redevelopment. Various options have been considered for the reuse of the building. An initial application for conversion to a 'boutique hotel' was approved in 2016 (16/00451/FUL). Works commenced on this project in 2019 but quickly stalled. After reconsideration, the owner was unable to complete the work and the project was shelved. However, a revised proposal for conversion to 8 flats was approved in 2021 (19/04800/FUL). Scheme involves demolition of the old laundry and timber out buildings and retention of the main building for conversion to 'luxury apartments' across three-storeys. The original permission (2016) for conversion to a hotel has been implemented and will not lapse, but the latest correspondence with he landowner suggested that redevelopment for residential use will be pursued. However, the 2021 permission for residential development has now lapsed. Therefore, whilst it is still considered that the site offers an opportunity to provide new housing, a new planning permission will be required, so any redevelopment is likely to be in the medium- to longer-term (6 to 10 years). | Facts about Notes |
